I’m taking a few days off to get some sunburn at the Jersey Shore. If you are sticking around the Philly area, you should check this stuff out…

Oh no! 215hiphop is reporting that Colby is no longer going to be Program Director or on the air at 100.3 The Beat. Colby has always been one of my favorite Philly radio DJ’s. He’d always have great stories about ‘back-in-the-day’ topics and he seemed to genuinely love hip-hop.
In his absence, look forward to […]

Here’s a weird one - back in the middle of the night in August 2007, a guy began to spray-paint a congratulatory message to a newlywed couple on the side wall of a store. Two of his friends acted as lookouts. Two Philly cops allegedly jumped out of their squad car and chased the graffiti artist. When they caught […]

I don’t know what the hell has been wrong with me lately. I’ve been soooooo damn tired. This weekend I just want to sleep but I know that I won’t be able to…there’s too many things to do.

We’ve got a festival. We’ve got great weather. We’ve got some stuff that I’m doing. Philly, this weekend is gonna be fiiiiiiiiiine.
Remember, if you wanna get listed, send us your tips / event listings.

Or do we?
I don’t know anymore, mang. My brain is so fried and we’ve been totally slacking on updating you on all the cool and exciting things going on in our worlds. Hopefully sometime soon we’ll get out act together a bit more and re-focus on posting more dumb awesome interviews and other crazy/stupid/weird […]

Too much is never enough. It’s going to be close to 100 degrees outside this weekend and there’s literally too many things going on. I love it…

Way way back when it was a cold winter, the White Ts White Belts party (with DJ’s Emynd and Bo Bliz - who we talked about last week) played host to a totally D.I.Y. live performance by Philadelphia’s own Freeway. Patrons at the Arts Garage (R.I.P.?) were treated to a bunch of Freeway songs when, […]

Oh man. Things have been so hectic around here. Me and Hans got all dramatical for a minute just added to the stress. I can’t wait to just take a few hours to depressurize and chillax. That said, there’s a million things to do this weekend. Get out there…

Three day weekend edition! Yes…

One of the things I love about Philadelphia so much is that most of the time hype doesn’t matter here. Image and hype bullshit doesn’t necessarily work here - you have to rock shit to get people to respect you. And, Philly is a crabs-in-a-barrel kind of town - jealously runs rampant and haters are […]

Last Wednesday, Philadelphia heavy hitters Clockcleaner played a show in Brooklyn with The Dustheads and the reunited Midwest hardcore legends Negative Approach. I missed the show but word is that it was pretty epic. The ‘Cleaner are no strangers when it comes to pulling epic pranks but it’s pretty safe to say that Negative Approach […]

Sunday’s Philadelphia Inquirer has this weird interesting story about Chase Utley and his batting-practice bat. A bat he had used for every batting-practice session that he had taken since the start of the 2007 season.
“The bat handle was covered by layers of gummed-up pine tar that made it look like a cross between a half-eaten […]

When’s it actually going to be like nice weather Spring-time? I’m getting sick of all this rain…

Lately, Philadelphia bands have been scoring fairly high on the indie-rock tastemaker site Pitchforkmedia.com.
Today finds Pattern Is Movement scoring a not too shabby 7.9. Earlier this month, the ‘Fork gave Philly by way of Brooklyn singer SantoGold a respectable 7.1 and the debut album of West Philly weirdness from Tickley Feather rated a 6.7 on […]

Sometimes it’s impossible to coordinate things correctly. I’ve got some family stuff that I need to attend to and McKee is on tour with the loveable Limey skinhead rogues Hard Skin. That means that England Belongs To Twee is not happening this month. However, I am leaving you all in the able and capable hands […]

I think it’s supposed to rain all weekend. Sucky! luckily, there are lots of fun things to check out

The Calvary Church on Baltimore Avenue in West Philly was the first place in Philly that I went to see an actual no-frills basement punk show. I’d been to other shows in the area but they’d all been in clubs. This was just a bunch of kids and a church basement. Shows were booked at […]

I just got back from seeing Tragedy at the First Unitarian Church. I’m covered in sweat and crust-punk neu-smell. I’m tired/ I want some pizza. Yet still I give you the weekend picks…

Philly was well represented on television on late on Monday night. Santo Gold (Real name Santi White, from Philadelphia) performed live on Late Night with Conan O’Brien and The Roots performed on The Late Show with David Letterman. Pretty cool, huh?
